Love your writing, Nat!. The smell of our teenage perfumes are so ingrained in our memories, aren’t they? Here in the US in the 90s it was Love’s Baby Soft and Exclamation.

Wishing you good health.

I hope you're feeling better asap, Nat.

I'm so glad you shared this. So nostalgic and full of scents and yearning.

I can almost smell your photos. They're beautiful and also mundane. Catching people in their inbetweeny 'off' moments. Really moving

Nat, you're reminding me of my teenage years (which occurred very long ago) and the scents that defined them. I used to love the musky odor of English Leather that a former boyfriend often wore. For me, it was floral scents until I came upon patchouli which I would still be wearing if it didn't make my husband sneeze ;-)

So pleased you enjoyed it, Marie, I can see it in my mind when I write about it. Nostalgia is rich in colour and scent x
